The River Thames is one of England’s finest boating and recreational assets. Powered boating, canoeing, sailing, rowing, walking and angling are just a few of the activities that take place. The River User Groups were setup to provide a forum to discuss and resolve issues affecting these river activities. This website provides a way to share and communicate the debates and the decisions made in the public meetings.
Welcome
The River User Groups cover different areas of the River Thames -this website will enable you to find out what’s going on near you. The latest documents from each RUG are available to download below. Information from those who work closely with the RUGs, such as the Environment Agency and the Association of Thames Yacht Clubs is also available.
If you’re interested in finding out more about your local RUG then view the about section or contact the secretary for your patch.
Whilst not ‘open-house’ the RUGs are keen to welcome new members with experience in using the river.
